Great little vac. I had an off-brand but it died as as soon as warranty ran out. Ive had a big upright Dirt Devil   a large canister floor Dirt Devil but needed something small for quick use. I am a Dirt Devil fan  happy, long term user. The little one is bigger than the off-brand that died. But it works very well. Very, very happy with Dirt Devils of all sizes. No other brand for me going forward!
